Do you have Mr. Popular on your back?

Fernando Torres was the most popular to feature on replica Premier League shirts printed worldwide this past season. This is nothing new for Liverpool’s #9, as it is the second season in a row that he has topped the list. Torres’ teammate Steven Gerrard was second while Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney went up from fourth to third in the top 10 list compiled by SportingiD. These figures are based on the number of official club shirts sold domestically and internationally.

The dynamic duo of Arsenal midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Andrey Arshavin were fourth and fifth on the list, and by Chelsea pair Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba were just behind finishing in sixth and seventh. Manchester United’s Nani and Dimitar Berbatov both dropped out of the top 10, along with Arsenal’s Theo Walcott, which is not surprising considering the Berbatov and Walcott did not have memorable seasons with their respective clubs. Former Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo had been second in last season’s list but unsurprisingly his name does not appear following his world record transfer to Real Madrid last year.

Though I’m not really quite sure why, Manchester United striker Michael Owen featured on the list for the first time alongside Didier Drogba, while Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher (again, no idea how that happened) and Manchester City forward Carlos Tevez were top 10 re-entries. Check out the top 10 list below.
